Let’s be real here, it’s a movie based on toys, so don’t expect an epic action film. Have realistic expectations and this film will blow you away. The kids will absolutely love this, and the inner child in everyone will have a blast watching this movie. GI Joe is an entertaining experience that will not leave you bored.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009)

Being someone who hasn’t read the books and only seen two of the other movies..I was blown away! The acting of the now young-adult actors is simply brilliant. The mood and atmosphere are stunning, and the story is good enough to keep you sitting through the long runtime. If you haven’t seen any of the other movies or read any of the books (or had no interest) you should at least give this one a try!

We can all probably relate to parts of this film through it’s diverse characters. Definitely one of my new favorite films of this genre.

Don’t be dissuaded by the PG-13 rating, though there’s not much extreme gore or heavy language, there’s plenty of grotesque and simply disturbing scenes that will have you reaching for the barf bag (you’ll never look at denture wearing grannies the same again). The story is fairly original and the lead actress is very likeable. Hopefully this film will revive good horror films, as it does an More >

Well I heard great things about this film, but was surprised when I went to the theatre and there were only 4 other people there! This film was simply amazing. Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon Levitt are two of the best young actors out right now, and being a fan of their previous work I can confidently say we will be seeing more of them. This film is not a typical romantic comedy. The realism portrayed in this film is accurate and honest while covered in a creative More >
